Veep Biden Speaks out on "The Surge"

[Tarheel]

Apart from the fact that I'm shocked at what Biden said on cBS ("Slay" the Nation) this past Sunday I'm further surprised that I've missed this until now!  Of course, it's been buried by the MSM for obvious reasons.

Apparently The Surge (that Biden, The ONE, and other socialists opposed...LOUDLY) worked.

This is an excerpt from a cBS News article summarizing the interview between Bob Schieffer and Biden; all emphasis is my own:

On Iraq And Reconciliation

On the state of Iraq, Biden used a football metaphor, in honor of the impending Super Bowl: "I think we're basically on the 20-yard line, 20 yards to go. But now comes the really hard part. The surge did work. Our military has done everything we've asked of them, but there needs to be a political reconciliation in Iraq.

"You've heard me on your program many times talking about in the past the need for the Iraqis to determine whether they have a federal system or a strong central government. They're in a debate on that. There is going to be three major elections that are going to take place this year … The bottom line is that a political reconciliation among Sunni, Shia and Kurds, Arab and Indo-European, Arab and Kurd - all of that is still in flux.

"There's progress being made on it, but we need a much stronger push. And there has to be an additional, I think, show of responsibility on the part of the Iraqi leaders that they're able to govern.

"Last point: There's a need for a petrochemical law, an oil law. How do they divide up the revenues? It's a big, big, big, big deal."

The asshat is talking out his ass now.

There's a need for a petrochemical law, an oil law. How do they divide up the revenues? It's a big, big, big, big deal

The Iraqi's have an agreement on how to divide the oil money. I know. I'm too lazy to try and reference it to an internet link.
